Answer» I'm sure this has been answered before but I couldn't find anything.
I just bought a used laptop off ebay. It came with a lan PC card and a 56k modem pc card so I assume it has no internal modem?? I had never even heard of pc cards till I got this. Anyway, I have dsl on my home pc, with a 2wire portal. I want to be able to get on the internet with my laptop using my home connection. How do I go about doing that?Do you know the model of the laptop? Is there a plug on the laptop like the one where the modem plugs into your DESKTOP?The laptop is a Gateway 2550. It does have all the USB, and phone jacks. But I need to go WIRELESS, my pc is upstairs and need to use the laptop downstairs.You'll need a wireless lan card 1st to connect. Then you'll you need to check and see if the wireless option has been turned on within the 2Wire router/modem.
